ok. i couldn't live without cruise control. since i find driving so profoundly boring these days i use it to eliminate the likelihood i'll get a ticket. i use it at 35, 45, 55, 60, 65, 70 even on trips into town.

I'm content just popping in a casette or cd and enjoying the drive.
a cassette? really?

Reading you guys debate about tech...or lack there of is interesting but not everyone cares that Lexus may or may not keep up with the Joneses.
well they have no choice but keep up because a good part of luxury is having things you don't need and outdoing the joneses

Btw, on stern tv (german tv show), they had an piece about new s class adaptive cruise control that failed and car crashed, then MB faked the results by putting in a piece of wood to warn the driver to brake. It was big big media blunder in germany few years ago when all of the new S class comercials were about full speed cruise control.


But Stern TV had their own hidden cameras on the set and taped everything without MB knowing :-)
